Vagrant Provisioner for Boxstarter

[rgl]

is there a plan to have a provisioner for vagrant?

it would be really nice to have this, mainly to take care of all the windows reboots shenanigans.

it should also stream stdout/stderr to the vagrant console while running in auto-logon mode.

It would be very cool. No immediate plans exist.

hey @rgl - have you had a look at https://github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey-test-environment ?

[rgl]

@mwallner sorry, why is that relevant?

[mwallner]

As far as I've understood this "chocolatey-test-environment" uses a powershell bootstrapper to install chocolatey packages. You could simply drop in "Install-BoxstarterPackage X" instead of "choco install X" in the bootstrapper script...

[rgl]

That will only work if BoxStarter does not need to reboot the machine; for that you need to write a vagrant provider or change vagrant to support BoxStarter.

oh right, was not aware of that - thanks :)
